C. S. Lewis

I read Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. It was published by HarperCollins Publishers. It was published by HarperCollins Publishers in New York City in 2001. There are two hundred and twenty-seven pages. This book was a 7. I gave this book a 7 first because it was a really good book. It explains very difficult things with illustrations that make sense. The reason it did not score higher is that I did get bored occasionally because it was not a storyline but individual ideas discussed. It was at…

Lewis argued that there is a home for the hearts of Christians for “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world” (Lewis). He builds the foundation of his argument by proclaiming if wealth, hierarchy and lust are not satisfying you, then maybe you are meant for a different…

Review on The Four Loves by C. S. Lewis. The four loves is a book about different types of love written by C. S. Lewis (1898-1963). Lewis was a man of many occupations such as Novelist, scholar, broadcaster and English literature tutor, but for this purpose a British novelist, who studied at Oxford University and was married to Joy Davidman and is still celebrated for his wonderful works. Apart from The four loves, he wrote other books like, The Allegory of Love, Boxen, God in the Dock,…

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis portrayed evil in a way that I found extremely interesting. A demon named Screwtape writes letters to his nephew, Wormwood, to guide him on trying to keep a human away from God. He tells Wormwood that he should keep his “Patient” busy and never allow him time to get close with God. The way that evil is portrayed is interesting because it is never manifested to the human. It is just a force prompting them to do certain things that will eventually lead them to…

It tells us about Lewis struggle in life, especially after he loses his most loving wife Joy Davidson due to cancer. Reading the book, one will see how a believer of God journeys through negative moments of belief, reflecting on his faith, then realizing the fault in it which enables Lewis to purify his faith.

The Chronicles of Narnia is one of the most celebrated English literary series of the 20th century. The author, C. S. Lewis, wrote this series with a correlation of core concepts, major themes, and key symbols among the books. Three key themes that Lewis focuses on are the idea that God, directly and indirectly, influences our lives, the representation of Satan through the witches, and how persons deal with their sin and how they must discover and repent of their sin to be successful in life…

eternity and QED’s view that suffering and death are learning experiences. Shadowlands begins with C. S. Lewis giving a lecture on love, pain, and suffering. Lewis describes pain as “God’s megaphone to rouse a deaf world” (2). Because of free will, humans can be prone to become selfish and self-sufficient. According to Lewis, God uses suffering to teach people to rely on Him and the hope of heaven. Lewis ends his lecture by saying this world is only the shadowlands, and real life has yet to…

rings, wardrobes, or paintings to take us to Narnia, but there is still a way to get there. Was C. S. Lewis creating an allegory in The Chronicles of Narnia? Perhaps not. At the very least, however, his profound belief in Christianity motivated his compelling story. Narnia is all the better off for it.  Works Cited Bruner, Kurt, and Ware, Jim. “Finding God in the Land of Narnia.” SaltRiver, 2005.

have it? In the essay “We have no Right to Happiness” C. S Lewis claims that we do not have a right to happiness and sets his foundation on an anecdote. Throughout our life we meet so many different people; some are happy while some are not, but it is not up to us to decide whether they are happy or not, and what makes one person happy would make another person happy, or whether it is the right path to happiness. In the article mentioned above, Lewis describes a story about a husband who…
